I just watched the first 4 episodes of Total Dramarama, and I liked it. I liked it a lot.
Since I started loving Total Drama long ago in late Spring 2008 as a 10-year-old, I just had to check out this adorable spin-off.
1. I love the addition of Jude. He was always my favorite of the boys on 6Teen, narrowly beating out Wyatt. I just love a laid-back demeanor.
2. I love how Chef is finally getting the spotlight. I enjoy Chris (I’m really hoping for a cameo for him), but it’s nice to see the sidekick become the main adult.
3. Izzy😜. Izzy just steals the show in every scene she’s in. I liked her as a teen in Total Drama (my favorite being her in Action with all of her alter egos), but her preschooler identity with that sense of wonder in her eyes is just too precious💖💖💖 (I love cute things that make people smile)
And finally, my absolute favorite moment from what I’ve seen so far:
4. Nikki’s cameo.
In the second episode, the kids are talking about what happened the last time Chef didn’t get his Rainbow Juice Starbucks drink. The scene goes to a flashback in what reminds me of Owen’s art style (which I love the goofiness of😆) and it shows Chef going on a rampage, when he spies a kid with purple hair sitting on a chair. He picks up the kid and the sequence ends. Then Owen goes “and we never saw Nikki again. I think her family moved”.
The moment I saw that hairstyle, my first thought was ‘is that Nikki? Is that really her?’
Then once Owen confirmed it I started chuckling. But then once he said “I think her family moved”, I completely lost it and had to pause the episode. They really did a call back to the finale of 6Teen, and I was out of commission for a good 8 minutes. I love call backs.
This is definitely a show I’m going to enjoy after I’m done enjoying the Adventure Time finale.
